50 years of the Mirror Dinghy

Please order your Mirror kit now, we are taking in plywood stocks to ensure we can meet the demand prior to the Mirror Worlds here in January 2015.

Cutting a Mirror Dinghy kit with a CNC machine has as yet never been done, so we will be the first to offer such accuracy, meaning each and every Mirror kit we sell will be the same.

The Mirror dinghy, the little plywood wonder that brought sailing to the masses, is still loved today by some of our best-known sailors.
Olympic medallist Stuart Bithell learned to sail in a Mirror. Round-the-world yachtswomen Ellen MacArthur and Dee Caffari are big fans too.  And this year the Mirror dinghy, the little plywood wonder that brought sailing to the masses and launched the careers of some of our top sailors, is 50 years old.  Last summer Stuart, now 25, claimed Olympic silver in the 470 class.
